Curt Cignetti sits down with Dan Patrick to discuss the win over reigning national champions Michigan, why he chose to become the Indiana Hoosiers HC and the culture he has brought to the surging program.

That brings up a comparison to Wisconsin’s current standing under head coach Luke Fickell. The Badgers are 5-4 (3-3 Big Ten) entering the final stretch of the season, that after closing 2023 at 7-6.

Neuheisel’s church of Cignetti has welcomed a hefty share of worshipers in the past two months. And Neuheisel, who sees a remarkable amount of Nick Saban in a coach who worked under Saban at Alabama before leading his own programs to so much success, is prepared to keep making room.
